- If ISO TS 11941 is not changed to IS by
the end of 2002, then it will automatically become obsoleted according to ISO
directives.

1.3
Naming Hangeul letters and syllables

- Names of Hangeul letters mostly follow
Method I (NK).

. This was decided in 1992.

- Names of Hangeul syllables follow Method
II (SK).

. This was decided in 1995 or so.

2.
Issues to be discussed outside of WG20

2.1
To be discussed within JTC1/SC2/WG2 and Korean script ad hoc group

2.1.1
We need to set up a principle of ordering, at least within UCS, Old Hangeul
letters to be newly added into UCS.This principle may or may not eventually become a standard ordering rule
in one or both Koreas.

2.1.2
We need to set up a principle of naming, at least within UCS, Old Hangeul
letters to be newly added into UCS.This principle may or may not eventually become a standard
Transliteration in one or both Koreas.

2.1.3
We propose that DPRK provide supporting documents for the several Old Hangeul
letters that they suggested to add to UCS.

2.2
To be discussed within TC46/SC2

We need to set up a Transliteration of
Hangeul letters into Latin.Once such a
rule is finalized, it can be used in naming Hangeul letters to be added newly
into UCS.

If ISO TS 11941 does not become IS by the
end of 2002, it will become obsoleted.Considering that, we need to take one of two paths:

a) make TS 11941 IS without any change as
soon as possible; OR

b) unify the two methods for consonantal
letters and make TS 11941 IS.

Otherwise,
we will probably have to start from scratch to set up a naming principle (i.e.,
Transliteration), which will take fairly long time.

2.3
To be discussed between two Koreas

We propose that, if possible at all, both
Koreas set up a unified ordering rule of both Modern and Old Hangeul letters,
which will be used for the delta file for both Koreas.

3.
From the viewpoint of WG20

3.1 As long as modern Hangeul letters
are correctly handled in the delta,

that
seems sufficient for the time being.

- We
propose that we should not discuss the ordering rule of Hangeul letters within
WG20.We only need to implement the
rule in the delta file, once an ordering rule is established in one or both
Koreas (see 4).

3.2 We propose that we should not
discuss the Transliteration of Hangeul letter within WG20.We only need to use the Transliteration rule
for the comments in the delta file, once a Transliteration rule is established
(see 2.2.1).

4. In SK, we will include the delta
for NK as an annex in KS version of ISO/IEC 14651.The delta file for N Korea in the KS deals with only modern
Hangeul letters.
